Summary: Absolute joy to read!!!!
Review: I don't remember the first time I read this book, but I do know that I've read it 6 times since. It just gets better every time. I know it sounds cliche, but it made me laugh, it made me cry, and I will definitely read it again!! It's pretty much every woman's fantasy(well, maybe not spending a month in the 16th century!!), with the light-hearted right alongside the sad.
This is very easily one of my favorite books of all time. Second perhaps only to Julie Garwood's "The Bride". But I digress. I can't really pinpoint the exact thing that makes this book so wonderful, but I can tell you that by the last page, you'll be crying and laughing at the same time you're cheering for Dougless. Truly a great read, and one that I have trouble putting down no matter how many times I've read it.
If you don't buy another book this year, please, PLEASE treat yourself and buy this one!!!!!! A fabulous story, great characters, a beautiful plot, the works!!! Buy it, or you'll have missed a true gem of a book.

Summary: A Dream Come True
Review: I started reading this book one after noon, and between lunch and dinner, I did not stop reading. I finally finished at 4 am in the morning. This is the first novel that I've picked up and refused to put down. Jude Deveraux is one of my ultimate favorite authors. I definately give her and this novel 5 huge stars! I will probably read this story all over again. If only they made movies like this..if only things like this came true. I LOVE IT!

Summary: A Sensual Tale of from the Heart.
Review: I may be 11, but i love to read. A knight in Shining Armor is one my most favorite of the books Jude Deveraux so cleverly creates for us. Sensual, and quite a heart-quivering book. A mixture of faith, betrayel, love...time, adventure, naughty, and attractive knights and lords....all in this one eticing, and sensually wonderful book. Usually, i do not care for her work, but this was extremely exceptional! I always love a heart-warming ending, but at the same time a practical one. Answer me this, Why not share in the joy of learning new facts? Why not read this book for yourself? If you love sensuality, romance, tests of love, read this book! This book captured my heart completely, and simply refuses to let go. I hope you can enjoy this wonderfully created work of art as i have done.

Summary: One of my favorites!
Review: I just finished reading Jude Deveraux's "A Knight in Shining Armor," and I must say it is one of the best romance novels I have ever read (and believe me, I have read a few!). The story not only sends the reader on many twists and turns, through different ages and different emotions, but it ends wonderfully as only a Deveraux book could. I highly recommend this book to anyone!

Summary: A Wonderful Fairytale!!!
Review: This book is wonderful!! I read it for the first time when it was first released and I am now reading it again in 2002. The story is true romance and pure escapism.Douglas Montgomery is stranded in England after being abandoned by her selfish boyfriend and his bratty daughter. Douglass is weeping in a church, wishing for her knight in shining armour. Her Knight appears before her transported to the present from approximately 400 years past. After getting over her initial reaction that this man is just a mental case, Douglass begins to fall in love with the irresistable rougue. The romance that follows will keep you turning the pages until the early morning hours. The downside to that is that the book is finished too quickly. This book is a must for all romance readers and for those who fantasize about a whirlwind romance.

Summary: A modern fairy story...
Review: I think most people have had a fantasy of a Knight in Shining Armour coming to save them from a difficult situation. This book is like Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty for grown ups. It is shamelessly romantic and yes, a bit silly but who cares. I have read this book several times now and every time it leaves me smiling. Dougless changes from a slightly annoying wimp in the first chapter to a thoroughtly modern and satisfying heroine in the rest of the book, and as for Nicholas, what can I say....... The ending is unexpected and avoids the usual romantic cliches, but if it doesn't make you cry you have no heart and shouldn't be reading romantic fiction anyway! It is pure magic. If you haven't read this book, read it right now.....

Summary: Love is Timeless
Review: I was overwhelmed with passion,love,sorrow,and hope. This book is for every true romantic(myself included). It proves that loves reaches beyond times boundaries, and into the hearts of all women looking for true love. Jude Deveraux told more than a story, she told every womans fantasy. A love reaching from beyond his time, entering the time of a woman who would change his life forever. Leaving her mark not only on history but on the eternal soul of a man. I could not put this book down. I finished it in two days.One of my very favorites, and it always be....

Summary: BestEver
Review: It's been several years since I've read this book and I have to say it was the best romance novel I've ever read. I cannot even look at another time travel novel again. Nothing could hold a candle to this book. I'm going to dust off my copy and read this again!
